Watch Countdown to UFC 216: Tony Ferguson vs. Kevin Lee

The UFC is introducing yet another interim title this weekend at UFC 216 with the event being headlined by impressive 155-pound contenders Tony Ferguson and Kevin Lee.

An interim belt is on the line because Conor McGregor, the UFC’s current lightweight champ, chose to box Floyd Mayweather Jr. earlier this year instead of defending the belt he won in November when he knocked out Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205.

Ferguson (22-3) won the 13th season of The Ultimate Fighter back in 2011 and has steadily climbed the rankings. He is 12-1 in the UFC and riding a nine-fight winning streak.

Lee (16-2) also has a nice winning streak going, having come out on top in his previous five tilts. Lee hasn’t fought the same calibre of opponent that Ferguson has but, stylistically, this matchup has the potential to be a Fight of the Year candidate.
